Congratulations to Mr. Mark Arnholt!!
|
Congratulations to Mr. Mark Arnholt who is a 2016 recipient of the Herb Kohl Fellowship Grant! The Herb Kohl Fellowship Grant is a very prestigious award for teachers and Mr. Arnholt is very deserving of this title.
Each year, the Herb Kohl Educational Foundation recognizes 100 outstanding teachers throughout the state based on each person's (1) personal educational philosophy, (2) demonstrated ability to inspire students' love of learning, (3) creation of innovative projects or programs, (4) commitment to community, (5) unrealized goals for their classroom or professional development, and (6) positive qualities they see in education, and changes they would like to see made to strengthen and improve teaching.
The selection of Fellowship recipients is difficult and rigorous. The number of nominations allowed per school district is limited, the application process for the nominee is extensive, and applicants are selected at a regional level before moving on for consideration at the state level. This is truly an honor for any teacher selected.
Congratulations Mr. Arnholt, HUHS is very lucky to have you!!!

Solo and Ensemble Results
|
Thank you very much to all of the staff members, custodians, volunteers, students, and our music department teachers that helped out to make the district Solo Ensemble a success. Culinary students came in and amazed the other teachers with their culinary skills.
Over 600 students from 16 schools participated in the festival. HUHS had 225 students participate with 80 students earning *1 ratings. These musicians will take their talents to the state festival April 30th at UW Whitewater.
Thank you to everyone that helped out and to our music department, Emily Schuhmacher, Ernie Brusubardis, and Andy Hacker for all of their efforts to make the day successful!

Educator of the Year: Call for Nominations
|
Nominations are now being accepted for the 2016 Educator of the Year Award at HUHS until 3:00 PM on Friday, April 1, 2016 from students, parents, other teachers and staff, and administrators to provide recognition for outstanding educators.
Nomination forms are available by clicking
here, in Main Office, or from the receptionist in the main entry at HUHS. The nomination form must be signed to be valid and includea written essay nominating a specific educator from the HUHS District.
QUALIFICATIONS:
Any full-time educator with at least three years of education experience in the HUHS District is eligible for the award. There are specific criteria, which are used in making the final selection. These are listed on the nomination form, and include how well the educator: encourages learning, makes a difference with students, serves as a good role model for students, and fits the concept of an outstanding educator.
Nominations may be submitted by mail to Dan Dobner, Principal, by email to
dan.dobner@huhs.org, or in person to the receptionist in the main entry of the school. All nominations must be received by the April 1, 2016 deadline. The committee will meet the week of April 4, 2016, and the HUHS Educator of the Year for 2016 will be chosen and announced shortly thereafter. The award will be formally presented at the Hartford Rotary Banquet in May.
Nominees will receive a copy of all nominations submitted on their behalf.
We encourage everyone from the community to participate in this process. There are many outstanding educators at HUHS, and it is a very difficult task for the selection committee to select just one recipient of the award. It is important we receive input from every part of the HUHS community, so please participate by nominating the educator you feel is most worthy of this award. Thank you for your participation.

Health Minute
|
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE - It has long been a fixture in American medicine cabinets, but hydrogen peroxide is not the treatment for cuts. In fact, the properties in it that kill bacteria can actually damage healthy cell tissue. (The same is true of other disinfectants, such as alcohol and iodine.) Using hydrogen peroxide could slow healing time. Studies show that for most cuts and scrapes, rinsing thoroughly with water and cleaning the surrounding area with plain soap is the best treatment, and it's less irritating to the wounded tissue. Use lots of water to flush out debris and then cover with a clean dressing. See your doctor if you have any questions or have signs of an infection such as redness, pain, or drainage.
